Download Grand Theft Auto IV Second Patch

[PeterAGASSI]

To say that this second update was expected is a nice euphemism v1.0.2.0 patch as was desired by many players PC Grand Theft Auto IV. But while some saw the rumors do not come before the end of the month, at best, this patch is now available and, of course, downloadable.

With the recovery of 32 MB of data, you should be able to correct many problems related to the launch of the game in particular. It is also multiple optimizations graphics, better management of vertical synchronization and support for additional control devices.

Rather than make a long speech (the full list of changes is available at the end of the brief), we invite you to test this update without further delay, and share your thoughts on the forum. We will of course check these improvements on our own ... Perhaps we will update our test published last week!
